Switching a Jest Project from Babel to SWC

Read Original

This technical article details the author's experience migrating a TypeScript Node.js project's Jest setup from Babel to the Rust-based SWC compiler for improved performance. It explains the configuration steps, highlights a common issue with the 'regenerator-runtime' for async/await code, and provides solutions, including adjusting the SWC target to modern Node.js versions to avoid unnecessary transpilation.
